Since d-i uses debconf, most questions are pre-answerable like this.Where are the Qs and As documented?
Unfortunately I suspect the answer right now might be "the source code"; look for templates files. (Alternatively, look through /var/lib/cdebconf/ in a running d-i.) This should go in the manual, if it isn't there already.
Oh yuk!
I found a spare box and netbooted it: di-barfed on my proxy (haven't bothered with why yet) which I specified in my PXE config.
If I understand this right, if I put all the right stuff into the environment, then d-i will install the system I want?
It's pretty cleat that I can't put them all in through PXE - the kernel just panicked because I already said too much:
label 26
kernel images/sarge-2.6/vmlinuz
append initrd=images/sarge-2.6/initrd.gz vga=6 devfs=mount root=/dev/ram initrd_size=20000 mirror/country=au mirror/protocol=http mirror/http/hostname=debian.test.lan mirror/http/proxy=http://192.168.9.4:3128/
wretched bootloaders: today I was grubbing a sick machine , typing stuff on the initrd line and wondering
a. Why it didn't work
b. Why I thought it would.
I'm only guessing with my answers. Am I right so far? If I can get all the answers into environment vars in this fashion, is it going to work?
